Japanese manufacturers are known for their creativity. Recently, Atsumi Fashion, an apparel company from Toyama, Japan, launched a collection of masks made completely from women’s undergarments. The company used the material for women’s bra to makes these masks that come in different colors and even have lace to enhance their unicity. Each mask costs $14, which is at half the price of a bra. The bra mask product was sold out after only 1 minute of opening sale on its online page.
